[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61472] AddressSanitizer crash in MEX tests

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #45, bug #61472 (project octave):

The files like liboctave/array/Array-f.cc were originally intended only to
perform explicit instantiation of Array<T> objects for a specific type.  Maybe
now they also include some specializations for a few functions (I see
Array<float>::issorted in Array-f.cc, for example).  If these specializations
are still needed for speed, then I think we could declare them as extern in
Array.h and still provide them in liboctave.  But otherwise, provide a full
definition of the Array<T> template when Array.h is included and allow the
compiler to instantiate the template as needed.  Isn't that how <vector> and
other standard library templates work?
